Miss Marie Brown Claims Damages of Mr.
Anderson for His Alleged Persecution.
Boston Special
Miss Marie A Brown, who has been engaged
for some years in the work OF getting and dis
seminating information about the Icelandc dis
coverers of America, announced yesterday to
reporter that she had decided to institute pro-
ceedings for libel against Professor Rasmus B.
Anderson. formerly connected with an educa-
tional Institution at Madison. A It., and now
representative of the United States at Copen-
hagen Miss Brown is verv bright little
woman, remarkably we'll ve-sed in matters
Scandinavian, exceedingly energetic and stu
dious and completely imoued with the Left
Erickson idea. She is known as the translator
OF several Swedish works. and recently appeared

claims of Colum ouss rival.
Miss Brown states that when she was In the
West several years ago, she became acquainted
with Miss Selma Borg, with whom she was led
to form a literary connection Selma Borg was
the first one who interested her in Swedish
books, and together they began making trans
latiops for publication. The schwartz and
Blanche novels were published as the joint
work of Selma Borg and Marie A. Brown, but
Miss Brown now claims that the work was al
most entirely her own. When the union was
dissolved Miss Borg and her friends at

WHAT THE BLOODY SHIRT Is.

The Atlanta Constitution, edited by Mr..
Grady, and speaking for the 'tnew South"
says:
'Mr. Sherman makes bold to say that he
Will base his candidacy principally on the
pledge to secure. if possible. fair count of the
vote in the Southern States. In other words,
he raises the bloody shirt and haunts its CORY
folds de6antly at Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Foraker"
The Constitution says Mr.. Sherman's
bloody shirt platform is entirely satisfactory
to the Democratic party" and intimates that
the South will fight it out on that line.
There has been good deal of doubt as to
what constituted the bloody SKIRT, in Demo-
cratic parlance. In general way it has been
held to mean any reference to the war or its
results Of course, we mean any reference
by Republicans. Ex-rebels might refer to
their side of the contest as much as they
pleased, glorify the lost cause, and wave the
rebel flag with impunity; that was not the
bloody shirt. But if Republican ventured
to intimate that the rebellion was a crime.
and that the results of the war must not be
refined away by sentimental concessions, this
was waving the bloody shirt But now we
have new definition, and it goes further
than the old one. The new bloody shirt is
demand for honest elections
and q fair count in the South.
Mr.. Sherman, it should be understood,
demanded nothing that is not guaranteed by
the Constitution and laws. and by the senti-
ment of justice that exists, ought to exist,
in the bosom Of every honest man. Fair
elections and an honest count are the corner
stone Of republican government; yet we are
now told by paper that claims to speak for
the new South that demand for these is
raising of the bloody shirt. This is getting
along pretty fast, and shows that the
South is indeed progressing. The statement
of the Constitution that Mr.. Sherman's plat
form "is entirely satisfactory to the Demo-
cratic party" is notice to the country that the
Democracy know how to keep the South
solid, and propose to do it. They do not
intend to have fair elections nor an honest
count. The declaration is in harmony with
all that is known of Democratic methods at
the South, past and present and is frank
avowal of party policy But what do the
honest people of the North think of this new
definition of the bloody shirt, and how long
will it be before demand for a fair count
in the North will be brought under the same
defnition7

THE demand for women in the departments
at Washington, says of the Civil-service
Commissioners is steadily decreasing. The rea-
son alleged is that when they once get in they
can never be dismissed without such scene
as to make the officers in charge afraid to at
tempt it. Hence men are always asked for,
and the women gradually thinning out. A
man will stay dismissed, but woman will
use her entreaties, expostulations, tears, re-
proaches and family sufferings to work on the
feelings of bureau officer until he reinstates
her to get rid of her. Then he calmly waits
until she marries or dies, when he puts man
in her place who can vote, and be discharged
if he doesn't vote right. From now on until
after the election in November next women
will have no chance in the departments. The
demand is for men-good, Democratic men
who can be depended on in an emergency.
